How To ?

I have 80 GB Harddrive and most of my Windows environtment only take 50GB including the memory cache for XP. What I do is to install the partition manager (PM 8.0) and make a new partition on the fly for 10GB which i would assume will be enough for OSX86. The partition was formatted Apple_HFS.

 

Here's the Disk Information :

Installing the osx is the easiest part. Just put the installer and start like I did with my PC. You may refer to this page

 

The hardest thing is to make the audio work, since the installer wont work out of box with this notebook
